Its like a dithering approach.

3 (total) is good enough Greg, even 2 has worked for me in the past. The plugin does more than just stack. It has motion detection software, so can work out what has moved in an image (to some degree) and apply the noise reduction in an intelligent way.
With normal stacking (DSS) you have the issue of moving stars vs static foreground (or vice versa). Either you live with some blurring in one or the other. Or stack twice and blend the 2 results.
